That is just a warning.

What version is the latest kernel that works?

I have the same situation. I am using F7 and similar message appeared from the
beginning and exists in all kernels till now. I upgraded from FC6 with yum and
there was no such message in any of FC6 kernels.

I googled a bit and have found very nice description of situation in lkml:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/324

I have the same laptop model (Hewlett Packard nc6320) and I see the same
messages during the boot process:

PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at f8000000 is not E820-reserved
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

and a bit later:

usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -71

Comment 3 Andrey 2007-10-28 18:18:05 UTC
I forgot to say that for me kernel is not hanging and never hanged duing the boot.

Comment 4 Andrey 2007-11-11 15:05:34 UTC
After upgrading to 2.6.23.1-21.fc7 I see no more PCI error messages during the
boot. But error message about usb 1-1 still appears.

Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to
isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can.

There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if
you are still having problems with the latest kernel?

If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a
few days if there is no additional information lodged.

Comment 6 Christopher Brown 2008-02-16 02:48:52 UTC
Closing as per previous comment. Please re-open if this is still an issue for you.
